Discord is coming to the Horizon OS of Quest headsets next year.
During the Connect 2025 Developer Keynote, Meta's VP of Metaverse Content Samantha Ryan announced that the popular communication platform is coming next year as a "native app".
This will include Activity Sharing, Meta confirmed, so that others can see what you're playing – if you want them to.
No specific details beyond that have been revealed yet, but Ryan's wording suggests that like Zoom, and unlike Spotify, Discord should arrive as a true app, not just a web app container.

Discord is set to be the fifth major communication platform available on Quest. As well as Zoom, Meta's own WhatsApp and Messenger are already available on Horizon OS as native apps, and so is Instagram.
Last year Horizon OS added the ability to share your first person view in communication apps, the equivalent of a phone's rear camera, and this year the ability to appear as your Meta Avatar, the equivalent of the selfie camera.
As a native app, Discord should be able to take advantage of these features too.
